And they say Easter is a time for reconciliation and new beginings.
Typical plastic

I've just had a nosey, that's terrible.

I don't know what it is the but the few saints fans that seem to linger on here are C words of the highest order, and revel in being like this.

That's being polite. No place on public forums for that nonsense.

Just out of interest, which thread is it, on the Pie board

I demand to be thoroughly outraged

As well as some of the classics already mentioned I'd like to mention the BIG games that the plastic scouse lot don't think even exist.

The LLS back in the box game ( McManus little tantrum afterwards )
2012 playoff at Saints
2016 playoffs at Saints, Listening to Saint Eddie Hemmings almost in tears watching his beloved Saints lose was gold ..
Last years Challenge cup final, the class and dignity McManus and their fans displayed after was to be expected.

Not Wire games, and ones that I only watched on TV but three Great Britain v Australia games have stayed in my mind as absolute classics: Melbourne in 1992; Wembley 1992 (World Cup final) and Wembley 1994 when Edwards got sent off and we won with 12 men, Jonathan Davies outpacing Mullins to score in the corner. Davies played for Wire at the time and was at his peak and that try was probably my favourite all time moment in RL history.

Leeds play off was special along with the limbs when briers knocked over the drop goal.

Rewatching the 2009 Challenge Cup Final on Warrington’s Facebook page brought back a lot of good nostalgia!

You do forget subtle little gems of the game: Getting off to 18pt start, the hudds disallowed tries, MM having a blinder out of dummy half, PJ’s coming off the bench & tackling everything, Briers orchestrates us around the field brilliantly, Tyke at the age of 21 playing his third game of first team rugby, Westwood & Landerson being absolute monsters at second row, Morley flying in like a man possessed!

Moz ended Crabtree's involvement with a very big hit.

That team was awesome, and the style of rugby they played was ENJOYABLE.
Special mention of Johnson - a really good game from him.
Mind you I can't think of any Wire player who had a bad game that day.
Mos and Carvell were both immense.
MM and Briers - oh to see them playing like that now. Brilliant.

Rugby intelligence is an interesting concept. I think we had 5 players during my time who seemed like they were ahead of most of the rest of the game in terms of knowing where to be, what plays to execute, at what time, to maximise the team's advantage: Davies and Briers like you say, the other three were Allan Langer, Michael Monaghan and Brett Hodgson.

I remember Davies bombing a young Anthony Sullivan. A few years later Briers gave him a terrible time at Wilderspool. Maybe a flakiness under the high ball was the only thing that held Sullivan being back from being one of the greats because he was a terrific runner.

Another player who got bombed into oblivion by Davies was Graham Steadman. An incredible thing about Davies was that even if he hadn't been a quick runner and had just been a stand-off with a game based around kicking (remember the Aussie Mitch Healey who played for Cronulla and Cas?), he would still have been a very effective weapon.

Is there anyone else on here old enough to remember a CC semi final against St Helens in 1972? We hadnt been to Wembley since 1954 and here suddenly we, under Murphy, were almost there. Very much the underdogs we put up a good fight. However, Saints were leading going into the last quarter until Toby DuToit scored a wonder try. Saints kicked for touch and everyone assumed the ball was going out when Toby snatched the ball out of the air and shot down the wing to score wide out. Unfortunately, the kick was missed and the game ended in a draw, but what a game.

Salford away was a good one, second half anyway. Sandow hitting the drop goal from about 40 out after the hooter had gone was electric!

There was a game away at Hull in 98' I think, Jon Roper scored the winner with about 30 seconds left after almost losing the ball but regaining it on his knee and being able to reach out and score the winner. 28-32. Cracker. Also remember that game involving a 'simultaneous' touchdown with Briers and Prescott, eventually judged a drop out despite Briers getting his hand on the ball underneath Prescotts.

Salford away in the CC QF (think Bradford battered us in the Semi), Alan Hunte scored the winner about 7-8 minutes into extra time. Mental.
